Tanguy Kouassi will sign for Bayern Munich<\/a> as a free agent, departing Paris Saint-Germain<\/a>, according to Fabrizio Romano<\/a>. He has decided his time with the club is up and will not agree to a contract. Romano reports that the club directors are “furious” at this move.<\/p>\n

Tanguy Kouassi to Sign for Bayern Munich as Free Agent<\/h2>\n

Kouassi Makes Bold Career Move<\/h3>\n

At just 18 years of age, Tanguy Kouassi has made a bold switch from France to Germany. He will move away from his city of birth to stake his claim in the Bundesliga.<\/p>\n

Matt Spiro<\/a> has highlighted the fact that with Thiago Silva<\/a>‘s departure, Kouassi may have got a lot more game-time. But, this is only one less defender in the pecking order. Whether at PSG or Bayern, Kouassi will have to fight for his place in two star-studded squads.<\/p>\n

Great Potential<\/h3>\n

The centre-back is already showing great promise. He has featured for France from under-16 level through to the under-18’s, amassing 41 caps thus far.<\/p>\n

During these matches, he played a part in a squad that reached the 2019 UEFA European Under-17 Championship. In addition, he played in a squad that finished third at the 2019 FIFA Under-17 World Cup.<\/p>\n

For PSG this season, the player made 13 appearances. He has played in a defensive midfielder role as well as primarily playing as a centre-back.<\/p>\n

It is still so early in his career that the player must continue to work hard to develop his game. A big move across countries and leagues is one that could jeopardise his progress. But, it is also a move that could ignite his career. It is impossible to see inside the player’s mind, after all. He was rumoured to have an extensive list of suitors.<\/p>\n

Christian Falk of Sport Bild<\/a> reports that Sports director Hasan Salihamidzic<\/a> (43) has been monitoring Kouassi “for over a year”. Furthermore, “Chief scout Marco Neppe already watched Kouassi at the U17 European Championships in Dublin last year” (Translated from the German).<\/p>\n

Bayern have secured a quality young player in Tanguy Kouassi. It will be interesting to see if the player’s decision will pay off.<\/p>\n
